The Thondai Nadu region is home to 22 of the 108 Divyadesams temples glorified by the Alwars. Our tour connects the dots between these ancient spiritual powerhouses.
We begin our journey from Theni, heading towards Madurai (The City of Temples). Here, pilgrims can seek blessings at the Koodal Azhagar Divyadesam before proceeding through Dindigul towards the north.
While Thiruvannamalai is famed for the Annamalaiyar Temple, the nearby Thirukkovilur Ulagalantha Perumal Temple is a vital Divyadesam stop. It is here that the first three Alwars met and composed the Nalayira Divya Prabandham in the darkness of a rainy night, illuminated by the divine light of the Lord.
Kanchipuram is the "Hub" of Thondai Nattu Divyadesams, housing 14 out of the 22 shrines within its limits.
Varadaraja Perumal Temple: Known for the legendary Atti Varadar and its grand 100-pillar hall.
Ulagalantha Perumal: Witness the colossal form of Lord Vishnu as Vamana.
Pandava Thoothar: A massive seated deity representing Krishna as the messenger for the Pandavas.
Proceed to Sriperumbudur, the holy birthplace of Sri Ramanujacharya. Our tour then covers the Chennai Divyadesams:
Thiruvallikeni (Triplicane): The iconic Parthasarathy Temple.
Thiruneermalai: A hill temple where the Lord appears in four different postures.
Thiruvedanthai: A famous Parihara Sthalam for marriage-related prayers.
